btw, you can put Category links anywhere you want, just not neatly formatted as it is at the bottom by default mediawiki style. [[:Category:Help|This is the help Category]] [[User:RequestedDeletion|RequestedDeletion]] ([[User talk:RequestedDeletion|talk]]) 19:38, 2 February 2013 (MST)

Trouble is if you start manually positioning categories they'll end up in different places on different pages and it becomes a mess. I feel what is needed is a more consistent category structure, the category pages themselves organise any sub-categories and the pages quite well.
You can add text to the Category: page to explain that categories use/purpose or even add an index of the top level categories via a template. For example see the [http://www.ips.org.uk/faq/index.php?title=Category:Equipment IPS - Equipment] category. All the source code of that page has in it is <nowiki>{{Category List}}</nowiki>. That is a manually created template but as it doesn't change very often, if at all, that isn't a serious maintenace problem.
